I can get recycle bin and device connect, disconnect and fail working. I can also get the System start up sound working via vbscript and a login task. But no other sounds like error, exclamation, asterisk, notify etc. Is this normal for Server? My WIn 2012 R2 the sounds work ok. I compared the...

So recently the sound on my machine will randomly stop working- no apps produce sound, Chrome doesn't, not even the system sounds. I posted about this on another forum which told me to check for hardware changes in the device manager, but that doesn't seem to be working, or at least not...

I double clicked on the system sounds in the mixer and suddenly I got a beep sound ( one a second ) and it wont stop. I have removed my USB keyboard and mouse and it still keeps beeping. I have tried a system restore and it keeps beeping. I tried an earliar restore point and it keeps beeping...

(XP Home Edition) I made a mess trying to change security from Zone Alarm to Comodo - ended up with Avast. The changes ( the initial try of Comodo) triggered a 10 second intermittent 'siren' from inside the unit (standard - not laptop). I've tried every kind of removal, reinstall, reboot...

I have audio latency problems on my Win7 x64 (stuttering sound) playing music. LatencyMon does not pinpoint the exact cause, it can basically be anything. After having fiddled with BIOS config, power options, changing drivers back and forth, changing hardware (network card, sound card)...

How can I make a noise after coping or moving files are done on my pc TIA Frank

Hello, this has started a few days ago. I was using my vlc player to view a movie and i noticed that the volume on the player wouldn't go past 200 (max volume is 400). So i opened the volume mixer and there is device (speakers) and applications (system sounds) and then the player. There is a bar...

On random occasions I get an audio sound, like an alert, like a doorbell (ding-dong, high pitch to low pitch). It is a full sound, with slight echo and reverb. I don't know what's causing it. I have gone through all sounds in the Sounds window in the Control Panel. It is none of those. I have...

Hello. I'm having a problem with the assigned sounds for various functions. In the Control Panel I select Sounds and have assigned vaious sounds for things like empty recycle bin, log off and so on. I have also assigned a sound for when I receive a new email. All of these sounds are functioning...

I am trying to configure Win7 to mute system sounds from the CD,media player etc... to go "mute" when making or receiving calls on my Magic Jack. When I use the Google voice phone, it works perfectly. I just cannot get Win7 to treat Magic Jack the same way. Any help would be appreciated. I have...

I got this computer a month ago, but had to reinstall windows a fortnight ago due to a bad hard drive that had to be replaced. The computer has been functioning perfectly since then, however tonight it started to beep about once every second. The sound comes out of the speakers, and lowering or...

I selected a custom sound to play whenever I close a program or when I load up Windows 7 (among others, but these are the important ones in this query) under "Change system sounds". For some reason, whenever I load up windows, the "Close program" sound I designated plays over and over like 3 or...

Hi all! I just bought myself a MOTU 8PRE FW soundcard. I have it up an running without any problems on my laptop running Win XP/Cubase SX3/Guitar Rig 4 and some other apps. When installing it under Windows 7/Cubase 5 I get extreme distortion. And I mean really extreme distortion. I get...

My System Sounds are not loud enough and certainly noy as loud as in any previous Microsoft OS. Can this be "fixed?"

I've discovered another idiotic effect of a form of "late binding" (the dumbest development idea of all time). In short, if a user wants to mute Windows Sounds to listen to some music (for example, Windows Media Player), then every other program on the system that has sound feedback enabled...
